I Am Experiencing Difficulty In Swallowing Food Properly Since Last
Question: I am experiencing difficulty in swallowing food properly since last few days and often feel that theres dryness irritation in my throat, at times nausea. I dont have fever or running nose etc. I have been working from home since last few days hence have not been able to walk as much as I used to while I was going to office. I am worried, if I am infected by COVID by any chance. I often start panicking just with the thought of being infected, when I panic I feel breathless as well . I dont go outside much. My Aarogya Setu is showing low risk of infection green.

Hi Thanks for posting the query.
Just having difficulty does not mean you have got COVID infected. It can be due to normal viral throat infection.
Have hot fluids and and use betadine gargle to gargle your throat for 3 times a day. As fever is no fever need not worry. Take Tab. Ibuprofen for 2 times a day for 2-3 days for throat pain.
Have lot of liquids to keep your self hydrated.
Any issue do follow up
Take care

Hello doctor , at times I feel that throat is dry even after drinking water(this feeling has been persisting since 1 month or so.
Currently, I have little irritation in my throat and looks like some dry cough. Not that I am coughing non stop but irritation kind. No fever or cold or anything else . Should I take some cough syrup as well so that it doesn’t become bad or lead to congestion or anything. I have ordered betadine, meanwhile drinking warm water and doing gargles with salt + turmeric water till beatadine arrives
